Chapter 61

If Celeste dared to cause a scene, it would undoubtedly upset Trevor.Given what she knew about Celeste and Trevor's marital status, Celeste wouldn't dare provoke him. After all, if she did, it would only deepen Trevor's disdain for her.Lennox felt somewhat reassured after hearing this, but she was still worried that Trevor might treat Wynn too kindly, which could be too much for Celeste to bear.Celeste, however, paid no attention to what they were thinking. She wasn't even particularly aware of their interactions, as she was more focused on the person sitting beside her—Bryson Leonard.Bryson had known that Celeste would be attending the expo and had made a point to greet her earlier at the event.The last time they met at a banquet, they had an engaging conversation. He had been wanting to connect with her again since, but both of them had been too busy. Now that they had run into each other, he wasn't going to let the opportunity pass.Not long after they were seated, he str

Despite having been at the table for quite a while, Trevor and Matthias hadn't exchanged a single word.Hearing the comment, Trevor picked up a napkin, dabbed the corner of his mouth, and looked at Matthias with a smile. "It's true, I've been considering it. What's your take, Mr. Yoder?"Matthias wasn't one to pass up an opportunity for business."To have Mr. Fleming's interest is an honor for YodaVision Co."If Trevor and Matthias were to collaborate, Wynn would be delighted. After all, closer ties between them would mean more chances for her to interact with Matthias. And if that happened, it would make it easier to bring Matthias over to her side.With that thought in mind, she shot a cold glance at Celeste.Celeste, however, spent most of her time chatting with Bryson. Though she kept a casual ear on the overall dynamics at the table, she wasn't overly concerned.If Matthias genuinely wanted to collaborate with Trevor, she had no objections. After all, there was no reason to

When Matthias noticed what had happened, he immediately paused his conversation with Yale and walked over to Celeste."Are you okay?"Celeste shook her head."Did you twist your ankle?""A little," she admitted. Her ankle was indeed aching. It was likely sprained.Seeing Matthias' concern warmed her heart, but it also left her feeling a tinge of sadness.She was well aware of the looks people were giving her. They probably thought she had intentionally thrown herself into Trevor's arms. Even now, seeing that she was injured, they likely believed she deserved it.As for Trevor, he hadn't even offered to steady her properly, let alone ask if she was alright after the fall.The only person genuinely concerned for her here was Matthias."Let me take a look.""No need—"There were so many people around.Ignoring her protests, Matthias scooped her up effortlessly. After carrying her away from the crowd, he set her down and knelt to inspect her ankle. Removing her high heels, he g

Celeste instinctively declined. "No need to trouble yourself. I'll pick it up myself."Her straightforward refusal led to a brief silence on the other end."Mr. Harper?" she prompted."Alright. I'll send you the contact information for the repair shop shortly.""Thank you. I appreciate it."Beck didn't say anything else and hung up the call.With her injured ankle, it was impossible for Celeste to pick up the car herself. After thinking it over, she decided to ask Matthias for help.Matthias agreed. He promised to bring the car back once he finished his work.That evening, Celeste ordered takeout. Just as she finished eating, her phone rang. It was Jordyn."When are you coming home?" Jordyn asked.Celeste replied directly, "I sprained my ankle and can't walk easily. I'm staying elsewhere to recover, so I won't be coming home. You should go to bed early."Jordyn gasped. "What? Mom, you hurt your ankle? Is it serious? Does it hurt a lot?""It hurts a bit, but it's not serious

After a brief pause, Beck said, "I'll send you my account details shortly.""Alright," Celeste replied politely. "Sorry to trouble you, and thank you so much for your help today.""There's no need to thank me," Beck replied coolly before ending the call.Matthias, who had been sitting nearby and overheard the conversation, asked, "The person who helped with your car today?"At that moment, Beck sent over his account details along with a photo of the repair invoice.Glancing at the message, Celeste opened her payment app and replied, "Yes."From the way Celeste had spoken to Beck, Matthias could tell they weren't particularly close.Matthias knew Beck as well and was aware that Celeste also knew him. However, to his knowledge, there was almost no connection between the two of them. Even when he heard Celeste address the person on the phone as "Mr. Harper," it hadn't immediately occurred to him that it was Beck.Celeste transferred the exact amount of the repair cost back to Bec

Hearing Jordyn's words, Celeste was momentarily brought back to her thoughts.Yesterday, when she fell, Trevor didn't help her.When she got hurt, he acted indifferent.He behaved that way not just because he didn't care about her but also because he didn't want Wynn to misunderstand.In his heart, Wynn's thoughts and feelings were what mattered most.Whether Celeste lived or died didn't concern him.Otherwise, how could he have been so cold when he saw her fall and get injured?With this thought, her expression turned indifferent. Just as she was about to decline, Trevor spoke first. "Ask your Mom," he said to Jordyn.Jordyn turned to Celeste. "Mom, Dad wants to know if you want to talk to him."Celeste pressed her lips together briefly before responding, "No, I'm busy.""Oh," Jordyn relayed this to Trevor. "Dad, Mom said no."Trevor simply replied, "Okay."Jordyn said, "Okay, Mom. Bye.""Bye."After hanging up, Jordyn set down her phone and turned to Trevor. "Dad, I t

After lunch, they spent several more hours in discussion, and by the end of the day, the two companies had preliminarily established a collaborative relationship.Two days later, Celeste and Matthias went to Trevor's tech company, InnovaTech, to negotiate the contract terms.At InnovaTech, they were greeted by Henry and a core executive, Jonathan Knox.However, Jonathan arrived slightly later. Upon entering the meeting room, he immediately apologized to Celeste and Matthias."Sorry for the delay. I was upstairs in a meeting with Mr. Fleming. My apologies for being late."So, Trevor was at InnovaTech?Celeste considered this silently as she and Matthias shook hands with Jonathan. "It's fine," she replied.Once Jonathan joined, they resumed discussing the contract.A short while later, the door opened, and someone entered.Celeste and Matthias didn't pay much attention at first. They assumed it was just another employee.However, when Henry and Jonathan noticed the person, they

Wynn smiled lightly. "We'll see in the future."This clearly implied that as long as Wynn wanted to, she could join the company at any time.The many ways Trevor treated her differently no longer surprised Celeste.She picked up her glass of water and took a sip. Just then, she noticed someone standing outside the glass door.Raising her head slightly, she saw Trevor.She froze.Trevor saw her too, though his gaze didn't seem to linger on her.Celeste turned back to find Wynn smiling subtly in the direction of the door. It was clear she was greeting Trevor.Then Wynn turned to Jonathan and said, "I'll be leaving now."Only then did Jonathan and Henry realize that Trevor had arrived.It was nearing noon, and it was obvious Trevor had come down specifically to take Wynn out for lunch.Seeing Henry and Jonathan start to stand up to greet him, Trevor waved it off. "No need for formalities. Continue with your work."They quickly nodded and sat back down.Trevor then addressed M

Matthias paused. "What? This is such a coincidence."Trevor replied calmly, "It is."Matthias said, "There are a lot of us. Mr. Fleming, why don't you take the elevator first? We'll wait for the next one.""Sure. See you next time.""See you."The elevator doors closed, leaving Celeste, Matthias, and the others to wait for the next one.When the elevator arrived, Celeste's phone rang as they stepped inside. It was Jordyn calling.After excusing herself from the others, Celeste answered, "Hello?""Mom, are you off work? When are you coming home?"Ever since Celeste injured her ankle, Jordyn had been calling her daily to check in. When she heard yesterday that Celeste's ankle had healed, she had asked when Celeste would be coming home.Celeste had been too busy with work to promise anything yesterday. Now, hearing Jordyn's question again, she said, "I just finished up. I'll be home soon."By the time she ended the call, the elevator had reached the ground floor.Henry, who wa

Celeste agreed to it. Jordyn then asked Celeste to send her to school tomorrow. Celeste promised she would too. She hadn't seen Jordyn for almost ten days since visiting the hot spring retreat. Thus, she stayed at the villa that night. But she didn't sleep in the master bedroom. Instead, she wanted to stay in the same room as Jordyn. The last time Celeste stayed with Jordyn was when Jordyn was sick. However, Jordyn wasn't sick this time, and she didn't even ask Celeste to stay with her to sleep. Jordyn noticed Celeste was showering in her bathroom. The latter seemed like she wanted to stay here for the night. Jordyn found it odd that Celeste chose not to sleep in the room she shared with Trevor. She actually liked sleeping with Celeste as it felt cozy and warm to cuddle up with her. So, Jordyn didn't voice her question. Since Celeste was staying with her for the night, Jordyn had to be more careful when she said goodnight to Wynn. She didn't want Celeste to fin
